UPVC lock Repair Specialist

As UPVC door lock repair specialists, we fix a significant number of door locks in the town. Over the last few years, like most other towns in Midlothian, there has been a relentless amount of new build homes being built. Most of these new built homes are fitted with composite door locks and standard locking systems. The town of Gorebridge sits on the edge of the Scottish borders and invariably suffers from the worst weather elements that come up from the south. The cold weather can affect composite and UPVC patio French doors badly, causing the locking systems to seize up and break.

Composite Door Locks

New build composite door locks generally have a lifespan of around 6 years from new and can break with no warning. This is very common in composite door locks fitted with the cheaper ERA locking systems. There is little homeowners can do to prevent their door locks breaking, because most new build homes continue to move and settle over the first 5 years thus putting pressure on door locks.

The Town of Gorebridge

The town of Gorebridge also has a large number of sixties built homes that mostly have UPVC doors and windows. We can fix every type of UPVC door lock from the older obsolete locking systems to more modern door locks recently fitted. We have a solution for every eventuality and will fix many door locks other locksmiths won’t touch.

Door Types in Gorebridge

Of all the Midlothian towns, Gorebridge also has the largest number of homes with solid wooden doors. The local Gorebridge community just love their old solid doors with Yale locks and mortice locks. You just can’t beat a solid wooden door with a British standard mortice lock as its main door security. These locks can last for decades and it’s not uncommon for Pentland Locksmiths to change CHUBB locks that have been in a door for 50 years.

That’s what you call value for money!

Thankfully, we have an abundance of UPVC and Composite door locks to keep us going every day while we wait for the call that one of our customers telling us their mortice lock has finally given up the ghost.

Largest Stock of any Locksmith

We carry the largest stock of any locksmith in Midlothian and will usually fix your door lock on the first visit. If we come across an unusual or obsolete lock, we will always fit a temporary lock until we can source a replacement. There is no additional charge to our customers if we have to return for a second visit.
